Welcome

Originally founded in 1793 as the Hamilton-Oneida Academy, Hamilton College's 1,350-acre hilltop campus overlooks the New England-style village of Clinton, N.Y., in close proximity to the Adirondack Park. Its open curriculum gives students the freedom to tailor their own liberal arts education within a research- and writing-intensive framework. The highly selective college enrolls around 1,850 students.

Aerial View of Hamilton's Campus

In the summer of 2014, Hamilton purchased a quadcopter mounted with a GoPro HD camera to capture some aerial imagery of campus. One of the first experiments turned into this video that received positive feedback from people both on-campus and off. The video opens in Hamilton's Root Glen, a wooded area with trails and dozens of rare species of trees and plantings, adjacent to our residential campus. Although the video does not cover all of our 1,350 acres, it offers a preview for those who have never had the chance to visit our beautiful hilltop campus. Enjoy!
